Desert Rose
Chapter One
It was hot. That much I knew. Nothing else seemed comprehendible. Not the sticky sand or the dryness in my mouth. I suppose this is what happens when one tours Egypt alone and gets separated from their tour group.
There was absolutely nothing around me. Nothing but the barren wasteland of hot desert sand. I barely felt my legs carry me farther and farther through the heat waves of sand. Before I knew what happened, I collapsed unconscious.
When I awoke, God knows how much later, it was cold. It was dark and I couldn't make out much of anything through the shadowy darkness. I didn't know where I was or what had happened. A figure shifted to my side. I bolted upright.
"You passed out in the desert. You're lucky we found you." Lavender eyes met my own ruby ones. I blinked and focused in the darkness.
"Where…am I?" I choked out, horrified at the sound of my cracking voice.
"Safe." Was the only response I received. The figure stepped into the crack of light coming from the doorway and I saw it was a boy my age. He had platinum blonde hair.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Marik."
AN: Okay, I know this is WAYY short, but I needed some exposition before starting from where I originally wanted to. So, stay tuned for installment two!
